TurboTax is Offering TOTALLY FREE Online Tax Preparation to those filing a simple Federal Tax Return for 2011. There several different options available for those with more complicated tax returns like when you have deductions for kids, owning a home, high medical expenses, and on and on. There are 4 packages offered, priced at FREE, $29.95, $49.95, and $74.95. That latter three are actually the special reduced prices being offered at this time. See below.

Option:If you want to actually make $2 for using TurboTax, you would then go to InBox Pays and link to TurboTax. If you haven't registered with InBox Pays yes, you will be asked to. For more info about InBox Pays, visit HERE.

Blue Diamond has introduced four new products in the Almond Breeze line. They are Almondmilk Coconutmilk blends available in these tempting blends: original, vanilla, unsweetened original and unsweetened vanilla. It is my guess that we may not find all four new blends being offered at the same time in a single store. But eventually they will make it on to the shelves if there is the demand. So if you want to try them all, ask your store manager if he/she would bring them in.

I gave up on milk in my cereal as soon as I tasted Almond Breeze and Silk Almond milk years ago. These new blends contain plenty of calcium, as do the original blends.

I've done this twice already and saved a big bundle on a powerful PC. Buying the parts and putting it together is really not too complicated. But if it is your first time, you will need some patience and an assistant with small hands would be a good thing too. Some places inside the computer "box" can be a tight squeeze.

This Guide is supposed to be geared for the non-techy person. It's free, so check it out if you are in the market for a new PC.

USE: 1 competitor coupon, Winn-Dixie $5.00 off $30, from Enjoy The City coupon book. (If you don't have this coupon, you'll still make $0.25 per box purchased, but there's no need to buy $30 worth.)*

________

*If you really want the Winn-Dixie $5 coupon, you could check-out ebay. I saw them listed 2 for $3.50 (incl. shipping). So you would still be $6.50 ahead -- that's green money in your pocket. If you order and they are shipped on Saturday, you ought to be able to get them in time.

I Heart Publix is doing a giveaway for Starkist coupons that will make for totally FREE Starkist tuna pouches at Publix during the $1 for 1 pouch sale going on - when you combine it with the Publix 50¢ off store coupons available on the Publix website or in the new Get Healthy coupon booklet found in stores. Read the I Heart Publix post HERE. And, good luck.

My strategy today was to drive up my total as high as I could today so that I would be able to use the $5 Off With $30 Purchase (Winn-Dixie Coupons from the Enjoy The City Books). So I had to keep track of what was going in my cart and stop shopping as close to $30, $60, $90, or $120 (I had 4 coupons with me). What made it so easy was the MoneyMakers still available from the Yellow Advantage Flyer (see my previous post for details).

(Note: there are $75 off 1 Fiber One Cereal coupons in the SmartSource 1/1/12 (per coupon bases). My inserts did not include any Fiber One cereal coupons at all). If I had them, each Fiber One would have been a 25¢ MoneyMaker).

Look for the above image when you get this this link on Facebook. Like them and print two by hitting your BACK ARROW after printing the first one.

Hurry and print out two of these because they won't be around long. And, if you live in the S.E., you can cash in on the savings at Publix when the weekly ad changes on 1/12/12 or 1/13/11, depending on your locale. That's when they go on sale BOGO, $3.19 for both, MINUS $2 (2 coupons for $1 off 1), and you now are paying just 60¢ each.

By the way, these pouches seem to have WAY MORE tuna in them than the 5 oz. cans (not just an ounce more) - less broth and, the tuna is less mushy and chopped up. At least that's my experience.

A little late, but so what. Right? The Schedule of 2012 Coupon Inserts from Sunday Newspapers is finally ready. See tab above. From time to time, however, the actual inserts we receive may vary, such as finding extra coupon inserts. This weekend is a good example, because there will be 6 inserts in most newspapers, but only 4 were originally scheduled.

The small size POM juice in the produce section is on sale for $1.25.COUPON: $1 off 1 from Smart Source 12/2/12 insert, orCOUPON: $1 off 1 from POM's website, printable.FINAL PRICE: Only 25¢ each

If you don't have the coupon, look for a hangtag. I found an expired one in my coupon book which is a good indication that POM puts them out every now and again. Hopefully you don't shop in a Safeway where there are folks who take all the hangtags and tearpad coupons.

Kashi Entrees and Pizzas are 30% OFF this week. COUPON: $2 of 1 from RecycleBank.com

So if the entree is $3.50 less $1.05 (30%), then minus $2 RecycleBank coupon, you'll pay ONLY 45¢ per Kashi Entree.

P.S. I think RecycleBank.com is one of the most useful and entertaining freebie sites around. They ask very little of your time or energy, and they NEVER ask for money, credit card, etc. It's a great site where they offer info about Recycling and tips about going Green. And for spending a 2 or 3 minutes online, you'll be able to get that $2 Kashi coupon. There are many many other excellent coupons the print, plus gift cards, magazine subscriptions, department store savings cards, etc. All for no financial input and hardly any time needed.

They'll answer any questions you have before you make a purchase. This gift card does not expire and can be loaded up with more $ if you like. Use it at any of the Ben & Jerry's stores nationwide.

This deal runs through Midnight. Click the image and when you got to the site, look for "National Deals" and you'll find the Ben & Jerry's deal.

On 11/15/11, I activated my FREE InBox Pays account and received the $5 signup bonus. No strings attached Since then (about 6 weeks), I have managed earn another $16.03 without spending any money and very very very little time. Mostly I just click on the CASH emails they send me each day and InBox Pays ads some pennies here and there. If one of the cash offers seems easy or interesting enough to me, and does not involve financial commitment, I might complete it too. For example, I might receive an offer to earh $1 if I fill out an online for to receive insurance quotes. I use my Google Voice account for the phone numbers and receive any messages relating to the offer in my mailbox. So it’s harmless and does not disturb me in any way.

Sometimes InBox Pays offers me FREE spins of a wheel that lets you win more cash, could be pennies, could be dollars. I haven’t figured out what causes InBox Pays to give me the free spins, nevertheless, I like them because they added $1.20 to my account. So I guess I’m averaging about $5 every two weeks for only seconds of my time a day. That ought to bring me up to about $130 extra cash for the year for doing next to nothing… a click here, a click there. That’ll fill my hybrid car’s gas tank 4 times, plus leave some leftover change. The site even has printable coupons. How do you think I found it….

There are other ways to earn cash if you want to play some games, take surveys, etc. I haven’t ventured there yet. Give it a try, you have absolutely nothing to lose. Seriously.

Head over to Amazon.com and have 24 MEGA rolls of Charmin Ultra Strong delivered to your house for a total of $0.27 per roll. That's like paying only $1.08 for a package of 4 MEGA rolls (those are some big big rolls of TP, supposedly the equivalent of 4 regular rolls, making it like getting 16 regular rolls worth of TP for just $1.08, shipping included).

Mind blowing. I know.

Visit this Amazon link HERE and select the option to purchase 6 packages containing 4 rolls each. You can also buy fewer at the same price, but you will incur shipping fees.

I would classify this as extreme savings when you consider how much Charmin is in the stores.

Now that I've used up and cleaned out my expired 2011 coupons, and finished holiday entertaining, shopping and festivities, I can get off the shopping trail for a while and get back to blogging about shopping, saving, deals, and coupons coupons coupons.

I don't know about you, but November and December were crazy crazy months filled with so many deals, specials, coupon books and inserts, catalogs, daily deals, etc., that I barely had time to get online for anything except printing coupons and reading the gazillions of emails coming in. Next year I'll probably see if I can hire one of Santa's helpers to help get us through with our heads still on straight.

I look forward to a shopping year of great deals, tons of savings and plenty of freebies for all of us. On the personal side, I foresee a year of happiness, joy, well-being, healthy-eating, adventures, and good times with friends and family.
